I have a Dell E153FPb 15" flat screen monitor. At first, when I turned on the computer, I thought I had a completely dark screen, but after checking all the connections and on the advice of my brother, I tried shining a bright light directly on the monitor and I can just make out (with a lot of eye strain) what is there. My brother says this means the back lighting is shot and I need to open the monitor to see what sort of light I need to replace it. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to open the thing, though I've unplugged it and unscrewed it from its base. Any ideas?
Thanks.
To open,remove base.place monitor lcd side up, the silver screen frame comes off,try opening above logo,get it started and it comes right off.it's your inverter,the thingy that your backlights plug into.
Usually with this type of fault it is the cap on the inverter board gone low in value causing a small fuse (next to it) to go open circuit.
The padlock sign is for an anti theft device.
To open the monitor, pay-pal me $6.00 and I will email you with instructions.

Auto adjust would retore the screen to what is usual of the Tv not the users expectations. Usimng the brigtgness contrast buttons to control a picture quality accustomed.

exact same proble man, did you unscrew the stand at the hack with four really fat screvs? i have thesame problem. I have found a small holw with a padlock sign next to it, but i don't knoqw how to unlock.
To open the monitor you need some flathead screwdrivers to pry the case apart after you remove the base from the back. The prying part is always scarey but you should be able to spot connection points after the first few separate. Best place to start is on top or on one of the sides and be careful, you dont want to start at the bottom for fear of damaging the controls. Do not put the screwdrivers too far in. As for the hole with the padlock signs, those are for security cables to lock equipment to a desk with. Now as for actual repair I havent quite gotten that far yet with it.
